System information
When you save a project, .veg.bak files are created in your project folder to allow you to return to the
project's last-saved state. Creation of backup files is independent of automatic project saving.
Saving and Renaming a Project (Save As)
From the File menu, choose Save As to save the current project to a different location or with a new name.
1. From the File menu, choose Save As.
2. Select the drive and folder where you want to store the project.
3. Type a name in the File Name box.
4. From the Save as Type drop-down list, choose the format in which you want to save the project.

project
This option saves the references to media files used in the
project. Also saved is project information, track effects,
envelopes, bus assignments, and output properties. The .veg
file does not combine events into a single file.
.txt EDL text file This option creates a text version of event placements in the
track view. This text description can then be imported into a
database or text application for modification or other
purposes.
.aaf Edit Protocol
Compliant AAF
File
These options create AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) files
that you can use to exchange projects between applications.
For example, if your postproduction facility uses a tool
other than Vegas Pro software, you could provide your
project as an AAF file.
For more information, see "Importing and Exporting AAF
Files" on page 73.
